When sermons of Obamaâs Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obamaâs campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, âG****** America!â Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obamaâs team tried to buy his silence.
âMan, the media ate me alive,â Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicagoâs Kwame Nkrumah Academy. âAfter the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.â
âWho sent the e-mail?â I asked Wright.
âIt was from one of Barackâs closest friends.â
âHe offered you money?â
âNot directly,â Wright said. âHe sent the offer to one of the members of the church, who sent it to me.â
âHow much money did he offer you?â
âOne hundred and fifty thousand dollars,â Wright said.
âDid Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?â
âYes,â Wright said. âBarack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, âYouâre used to coming to my home, youâve been here countless times, so whatâs wrong with coming to my home?â So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I donât know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.
